The group was mostly young (teens to thirties) and nerd-diverse: a little bit punk, a little bit hacker, a little bit craft grrl. He gently acknowledged the fundamental weirdness of meeting people in real-life, in confronting their "fleshiness," giving voice to anyone else's concerns about over-stimulation in the space.

In short, it limits museums from being places that are trusted as institutions of public engagement and interaction--the places many museums claim they want to be. There are two reasons to pursue this: for better accuracy (trusted source of info) and for more diverse inclusion of voices (trusted source of varied social experience).

Side Trip is an immersive environment full of interactive experiences that let visitors share their own stories of the 1960s, make their own rock posters, and explore the music and vibe of the time. It wasn’t expensive to construct, it doesn’t rely on artifacts, and the interactives integrate technology in a low-key, magical way.

There was a wonderful example at the Ontario Science Center in their Hot Zone area, which features several voting and commenting kiosks popular with teens. The image at the top of this post is from one of their simple visitor feedback interactives which was built into a familiar, casual rolodex.

In that case, my personal interaction with the users allowed me to honestly and openly share the changes that were affecting all of us. I spoke about my recent obsession with book drops and how libraries are turning their most mundane transactions into the basis for beautiful, useful, sexy interactions with users.

Also, the teen selections often featured teenagers interviewing visitors about their reactions to the pieces. They gave me voices to discuss with and helped me start interacting with the piece. I loved that. Just hearing other people share their impressions stimulated reactions of my own.

At the big one, I worked on a small project with teens to design science exhibits for community centers in their own neighborhoods. Six months in, the Museum committed to creating a highly interactive, separate ticket "you be the spy" experience (now open and named Operation Spy). There is lots of room for new voices online.

Although their power may be limited as adolescents and young teens, their habits will become increasingly important as they enter the workforce and explore their ability to make an impact on the world around them. But part of it also shows up in everyday marketing messages, where the voice of the consumer reigns king. Do I have an STI?

It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. This post focuses on one aspect of the exhibition: its participatory and interactive elements. We cut it in the first week after opening. Love Styles personality test.

Let's say you spend a year working with a group of teens to co-create an exhibition, or you invite members and local artists to help redesign the lobby. An interactive changes that. This interactive provided context that helped me appreciate the artifacts and understand the process that had put them on display.

Most museums don't strategically set this number--too many operating costs are fixed by building needs--but they can use it to assess how expensive each visitor interaction is and evaluate the efficacy of programs. Changing lives is expensive whether you do it with at-risk teen staff members or at-risk teen virtual partners.

Another trend, interactive experiences through AR and VR. If you have a tween or a teen, I’m sure you’re familiar with TikTok. I ran a takeover for Boston Public Schools around college month and of course, they are not going to give away the keys to all the teens. Okay, let me just take a sip of water.

But exhibitions have the potential to use all those narrative tools PLUS objects, immersive design, and interactive experiences to tell stories. Yes, I know that every platform is different, and that the captive attention we afford to radio, TV, and written material doesn't map perfectly to a free-choice wander through an exhibition.
